Jaffa Lam Laam at the exhibition Closer Together - Hong Kong Art School / RMIT University (02/01/2024)


Closer Together reflects on the 25-year cross-cultural relationship between the Hong Kong Art School and RMIT’s School of Art. This is proudly one of their longest running transnational educational partnerships, an on-going relationship that has grown a community through the exchange of artistic, creative and material knowledge. The Chinese classic text the Tao Te Ching suggests that the world is made up of what we know and what we do not know, which are ultimately the same. Closer Together proposes that togetherness, creative dialogue and art-making can help us understand this — that through these processes we can come to better know the mysteries of the unknown. The exhibition, curated by Shirky Chan, Rachel Cheung and Tammy Wong Hulbert, is taking place between January 2 – 28, 2024 at the Pao Galleries of Hong Kong Arts Centre. 

On January 27, an artist talk will be held with Jaffa Lam and Kay Mei Ling Beadman.
